Cockfighting is a brutal and bloody "sport." Demand that Oklahoma shut down these nasty fights, now! Sign Now Almost twenty years ago, the state of Oklahoma banned cockfighting — the sadistic "sport" in which two roosters, or "cocks," are pumped full of steroids, fitted with knives or other sharp objects, and pitted against each other to fight to the death. But because officials have not cared to enforce the state's prohibition on cockfighting, Oklahoma is not only home to a flourishing cockfighting industry — it's also the hub from which fighting roosters are sold and exported to trainers all over the world. Experts from animal welfare organizations have called Oklahoma the "cockfighting capital of the United States." It may even be the cockfighting center of the universe. This isn't the kind of title that any state should hope for. It's time for Oklahoma to reinstate its commitment to animal welfare, and enforce its laws that ban cockfighting now! Sign the petition urging officials in Oklahoma to finally get serious about cracking down on brutal cockfights and save animals from horrific suffering! Thank you,   Lauren W. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Many call Oklahoma the "cockfighting capital of the United States." Tell state officials to stop looking the other way.
